The Golden Ones

DL Salazar

A young man from 2220 takes on the government to fight against hatred of whites in hiding and the young white woman he yearns for.

 

Marcus Dresden is a nineteen year old Golden One living in the year 2220. Two hundred years ago, global war nearly left planet earth annihilated. The new government in power, the Global United Republic, forcibly bred out all the races and melded them into one: those they call the Golden Ones. It’s a world where white people or anyone who doesn’t resemble a Golden One, is not only feared and hated but ultimately hunted. Marcus tries to find some meaning in his life in a world where all forms of self-expression are outlawed and freedom of speech is unheard of. He feels himself dying inside as he longs for something exciting to happen to him. On a camping trip with his family, he discovers an abandoned cabin with a forbidden painting of a Pale One woman and begins to dream of finding someone like her for himself. He gets his wish when he catches Kenna, in his family’s farm warehouse; a pretty young woman who ran from her colony of Pale Ones. The two form a fast and furious bond when Marcus shows her a kindness she’s never known and becomes her only friend and first love interest.

It is a crazy world we live in now and I suppose it will be a crazy world in the future too. I enjoy the dialog between your characters and the humanity you are showing between them. I have given you full support and backed your book. Please let me know your thoughts on "Just Out of Sight". I hope to be on your bookshelf soon.
To writing our dreams,

Hi DL - great vision of a dystopian future and very good opening. On my WL and I look forward to reading some more.
If you have a chance to take a quick look at Ambassador 12 would be great to hear what you think.
Good Luck, Philip

The Golden Ones is a chilling and imaginative look into the future. This is such a mesmerizing account starting with Marcus finding the forbidden painting of the Pale One and his dream of finding someone like that for himself. It's an ironic twist on the racism currently found in society and very thought-provoking. I've rated The Golden Ones with six stars and look forward to seeing the complete work.
